Integumentary System and Osseous Tissue Flashcards
Integument System
The skin consists of two layers:
- Epidermis
- Dermis
Integument System
An outer protective layer consisting of a keratinized stratified squamous epithelium derived from embryonic endoderm.
epidermis
Integument System
A dense connective tissue layer that gives skin most of its thickness and support and is derived from embryonic mesoderm.
Dermis
Integument System
What are the five layers of the epidermis from deep-to-superficial?
(hint: 5)
- Stratum basale
- Stratum spinosum
- Stratum granulosum
- Stratum lucidum
- Stratum corneum
Integument System
What are the five layers of the epidermis from superficial-to-deep?
- Stratum corneum
- Stratum lucidum
- Stratum granulosum
- Stratum spinosum
- Stratum basale
Integument System
An anuclear cell layer that is thick, comprised of 20-30 cells in thickness, and contained flattened cells filled almost entirely with keratin filaments; this layer provides a durable protective covering that resists water loss.
Stratum corneum
Integument System
A layer of 1-3 cells thick; its cells contain keratohyalin granules, which contain a protein that will aggregate the keratin filaments of the next layer; these cells begin to flatten, and their nuclei and cell organelles begin to disintegrate.
Stratum granulosum
Integument System
A layer that is several cell layers thick; its cells contains “spiny” cytoplasmic processes, but the processes are lost as the cells ascend toward the surface of the skin.
Stratum spinosum
Integument System
A single germinal basal cell layer that is mitotically active and provides cells for the layers superficial to it; it is attached to the underlying dermis.
Stratum basale
Integument System
A layer of the epidermis that appears as a glassy layer in thick skin only
Stratum lucidum
Integument System
Layers of epidermis that consist of flattened, dead, interlocking keratinocytes & is water resistant but not waterproof
20-30 cell layers
Stratum corneum
Integument System
A layer of the epidermis that contain keratinocytes which produce keratin. The keratin fibers develop as the cells become thinner, and gradually the PM thicken, and the organelle disintegrates, and the cell dies.
It looks grainy
Stratum granulosum
Integument System
A layer of epidermis that have cells that contain keratinocytes which are bound together by desmosomes.
Stratum spinosum
Integument System
This layer of the epidermis is attached to a basement membrane and contains basal cells (stem cells), melanocytes, and tactile cells (Merkel cells)
Stratum basale
Integument System
What are the two layers of the dermis?
- Papillary layer
- Reticular layer
- Nourishes and supports the epidermis
- Has sensory receptors that detect touch, pressure, pain, vibration and temperature. Blood vessels also assist in thermoregulation.
